(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Focused on destroying America’s closest ally in the Middle East, the terrorist group Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets from Lebanon into Israeli territory in a renewed clash that turned Haifa into a battleground.
Earlier today, Hezbollah unleashed more than 100 rockets targeting Haifa, Israel’s third-largest city.
The attack was used to mark the one-year anniversary of Hezbollah’s ongoing war against Israel, which began after the horrific Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023.
Israel’s remarkable air defense systems intercepted approximately 85 rockets during the initial wave around noon.
However, the attack continued with an additional 20 rockets launched shortly after, showcasing Hezbollah’s intent to kill Israeli civilians.
Despite Israel’s best efforts to protect its citizens, some rockets managed to breach the defenses.
A woman in her 70s was injured by shrapnel during the second attack and homes in Kiryat Yam and Kiryat Motzkin suffered damage.
This incident marks the first time Haifa has been directly targeted since the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem boldly claimed that the group’s capabilities remain intact despite recent Israeli counterattacks.
His statement comes as Israel is stepping up its efforts to eradicate the terrorist threat along its northern border.
In response to the escalating aggression, Israel has taken decisive action. Israeli warplanes conducted targeted airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in Beirut.
Additionally, a third Israeli military division has joined the operations in southern Lebanon as part of Israel’s plans to defend its sovereignty and ensure the safe return of displaced residents near the Lebanese border.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Hezbollah fired over 135 rockets into northern Israel on Sunday alone, highlighting the ongoing nature of these attacks.
CCTV footage captured the terrifying moment a rocket struck a roundabout near a supermarket in Haifa.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that Hezbollah’s actions pose a significant threat not only to Israel but to regional stability as a whole.
